I ordered the "mid sized giant bean bag", and just received it. Slight contradiction in the name, which should have prompted me to measure first!

RRP £99.99... now £37.99.

It's much much smaller than I thought. Good quality, good service/delivery... but far too small to call it a giant bean bag. The models must be 3ft tall. Not really worth £38 in my honest opinion... but willing to hang on to it. I would however... be very pi55ed off if I paid £100 for it. Almost like a dog bed.

good advice...but your back is meant to be arched

Yes hehe. Buy you know what I mean. My back is not straight like it should be from sadly poor posture, particularly because I was kind of forced to sleep on airbeds for a year.

I'm thinking the same, is it better to pay a bit more and get one that you can try?

Ordered one, thanks for the post + heat

would XL be alright for a 6`2 guy?

Is this the best place for bean bags? Also is this a reasonable deal for one? I'm looking to get one but have no idea how much I should pay and things to look out for. Ideally they would be more fabric than leather for comfort in particular in the winter?

There aren't many car boots or Sunday markets near me in London so I can't find them on the cheap.. but for those who have one will know and those who are getting one will find out soon!! be warned !! they are expensive to maintain. in my spear room I have them so I do need to find a good place where to buy them on the cheap

I have just received the same from an ebay seller. £30 inc delivery. Perfect for the kids. Tad too small for adults.

Buy an old bean bag from a car boot sale or online site& top up the beans for a fraction of the cost.

They are very very expensive and if anyone can find a Bargin on them, please do post a link for the top ups as it would make this a even better deal hot from me due to the size of it

If price isn't so much of a concern I'd highly recommend getting a chair with as high a back as possible, especially if you are tall.

I spent a fair few hours on mine (which was 120cm so bigger than that one there) and you'd get off sometimes feeling really sore in the lower back. I'm just under 6 foot 3 (of course the length of your upper body is more relevant than your height, I'm more balanced in the leg to upper ratio than some).

I'd maybe say go for suede as it will hold a shape better, depends if you want to squash it around to your taste.

Getting chilly but it seems a decent price. I ordered one for myself last week after looking at the prices of bean bags.... wanted a half decent one and was surprised at how expensive they were, at least with this one it look as if it'll be super comfy.

I think most kids would love a bean bag this size and its not a bad price for the size really and it is better than the floor so heat added!!!

I wouldn't want one either but I don't think it's my place to criticise the item because it's not to my taste.

As to tat, Bean Bag Bazaar bags are actually quite well made. I have one of their recliner bean bags in, shock horror, faux suede - more like velour really, and it is very, very comfortable. Absolutely perfect for playing XBox in the front of the telly. The problem is though, like all bean bags it's not really very practical for day to day use, takes up a lot of space - and I don't play XBox very often

Joking. Don't wanna offend anyone. But almost £70 for a bean bag - is that right?

Am I going mad, or just old, but £70?

For a bean bag?

£70?

A BEAN BAG?

£70?

I'll get my kaftan.

Most of them is cheaper on e-bay from the same company including a veeery expensive delivery (usually 10.99).

I have one of these: beanbagbazaar.co.uk/baz…spx and its absolutely fab to lounge on. It also looks more expensive than it does in the picture - it goes really well in my "contemporary" coloured lounge. Its really well made - double stitched - theres no way I can ever see it fally apart. Its also great outside! I paid £99 for mine about a year ago - they're cheaper now though - I saw it as an extra seat when people come round - its hilarious seeing people trying to get up from it though!
